From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyril Turpin was a fictional character in the British soap opera Coronation Street, played by William Moore. Policeman Cyril arrived in Coronation Street with his wife Betty Turpin in 1969, to stay with his sister-in-law Maggie Clegg. The Turpins set up home in Weatherfield and in 1971 Cyril left the police force for an office job. After 1972 Cyril wasn't seen on screen, only spoken about by Betty. In February 1974 Cyril was to attend Len Fairclough's and Rita Littlewood's engagement party in the Rovers Return, but he died on his way there.
